“When I joined First Choice it was a company with a £13m turnover,” he said. “It is a simple business model and with the vision and leadership of the directors, First Choice was a company I wanted to be involved in and a company I felt I could contribute to.

“Now, following our acquisition by Parts Town, a $300m global leader, I believe we have great stability and direction and that there are fantastic opportunities ahead for First Choice Group and everyone involved with it.

“I always aspired to become a director again but you’re only ever as good as the team you have working for you and I am very grateful for the support I get from my team.

“I am looking forward to working alongside John Whitehouse and drawing on his knowledge to continue what has been an incredible journey for First Choice.”
